In the horrifying spirit of Halloween, the brand new iPad Air has had its innards ripped out. What tricks and treats did Apple hide inside? Let’s find out!

The iPad Air has only just gone on sale around the world, but the mad scientists at iFixit went straight to work as they always do. Apparently this time around, cracking open the new iPad required the assistance of a willing witch doctor…

That may have had something to do with the amount of adhesive iFixit found inside the tablet. Apple has glued the batteries in place once again, which greatly increases the chance that they’ll get punctured during replacement.

The 9.7-inch IPS panel is also glued into place — by a piece of incredibly sticky foam. As is the case with the batteries, the added adhesive makes it more likely that the screen will be damaged (and possibly shatter) when it’s being pulled out.

The front panel assembly is, you guessed it, glued in place, and that’s something Apple has done with every iPad model since the iPad 2. It lends to the quality feel of the iPad, but it’s also a major knock on its repairability.

At the end of the day, iFixit awarded the iPad Air a 2/10. That’s unchanged over last November’s iPad, and it’s a whole point better than Apple’s latest MacBook models. But it’s still not a good score, obviously. And it’s nowhere near the 8/10 the new Kindle Fire HD scored.

What else did iFixit discover about the iPad Air during the teardown? An LG display instead of a Samsung one, for starters. iFixit also found that the battery inside is identical to the 4th generation iPad. It’s rated at 43wHr pack, so any endurance gains are the result of improved efficiency in other components (like the A7 chip) and new software.
